Hi,
Thanks a lot for helping me with compiling the kernel and booting the smart display 'ido-sbc2d70-v1b'.
I am now at a point where the probe of the driver on that board fails with:

Were you able to reach a point where the probe succeed ?
Could you write in more detail to which point were you able to make the driver work?
Does the driver code in https://github.com/linux-chenxing/linux/tree/mstar_v5_17_rebase includes a fix to the bug you mentioned above?

Thanks,
Dafna
